My dad quit smoking a year ago after my mom passed away. He smoked 3-4 packs a day for the past 40 years (he's 55 now) and he did it cold turkey (without aid of patches, gum, etc)
I downloaded a progress app even though 'no one would care' because it's just me and him left.
Well, one year, $6400 saved and 22,000 unlit cigarettes later.. I'm speechless. I thought you guys would like this kind of thing so yeah :) encourage your loved ones to quit! Anything is possible!

RelevantImgurian
That's over 900,000 cigarettes over 40 years...
HanShotFirst77
Just hit my 1 yr cold turkey mark last month! Your dad's an inspiration. Guys like him remind me it's possible to keep up the good fight! +1

I have this app and it tells me what I would have saved if I quit smoking... I still haven't
LiteralGirl
Woah. Only 3 cravings resisted lol
TwitchOtyolf
What is this app? My dad is a chain smoker and has been for more than I've been alive (20 years).. depressing thinking about that..
whopper68

KenWeinbrandt
Thank you guys for getting this to most viral! I can't wait to show him (even though he thinks the internet is the devil on some level)
ShamanOfHigh
Wow you guys are really good at this! I wonder how much I've saved by not folding to peer pressure in the first place!
geekyfarmer
Geez, after my mom died Dad gained 180 pounds of fat. But she cooks sometimes, so that's OK. Congratulations, OP's dad!
Owlberightback
My dad smoked the same and for the same amount of time. REGULAR CHECK UPS! Cold turkey could be a shock to the system.
Lochiacoveredpimple
Congrats to your dad. I would suggest he visit his GP, he really should get a CT of his lungs.

I'm 10 days in myself!!

Nice, I quit 2 years ago. Willpower is everything. I love the moment when you smell a cig and your knee jerk reaction is to avaid the smoke
vindik8or
I got 31 years without cigarettes. Where the fuck is all of my money?
Rosco72383

You're doing great!!! Keep it up. 1 year 5 months for me. It's a great feeling after 30 years of smoking.
JexLane
Almost there- well done!

I'm at 11 months myself :)
UndeadDickCheney
That's impressive. Lets sit around out side and have a few beers, and a few smokes.
GandalfsLawyer
I'm not 21 for another 26 days. And you supply the brisket and sure, we can smoke it
KenWeinbrandt
Grats! What are your other stats?
GandalfsLawyer
definitelynotanorca
You did great, you deserve a smoke
GiraffeTastick
What app is that? I definitely want that
doubledoubleanimalstyle
Holy hell how does one even smoke 60-80 cigarettes a day!?
ItAllTastesLikeBacon
Dude there is no way he didn't have one in his hand every second of the day
PornhubsFirstTree
Started from the bottom now we're here.
feeltheice
When I was in afghan I was at 1 carton every 3 days.
Hemispheres
Literally lighting you next cigarette with the one still in you mouth. My grandfather did it and died of a massive heart attack.
BangBangLuckyLuke
Practice.
Tainei
By having one lit at all times and smoking it in 3 drags
KenWeinbrandt
Stressful job. And it didn't help that he rewarded every single thing with a ciggy. Ate dinner? Smoke. Poop? Smoke. Walk to the car? Smoke.
ImMuddy
worked with a guy like this. A cigarette never left his mouth. It was one after the other...
JohnnieTheShrubber
I'm 40 ish a day. How the hell have you only had 3 cravings? Or is it counted in millions?
Senofa
Probably just the ones that he logged into the app. I know when I was quitting I didn't want to acknowledge the craving's existence at all
KristineNoel
This app though, thanks!
carlosmencianumberone
I've been free for 21 years, 1 month, and 29 days
EZ0422
Plot twist- you are only 21 years,1 month and 29 days old.
carlosmencianumberone
thats a bingo
thisaintspinalsurgery
Good job babes! 8 months for me. Gained some weight, but still happy I no longer have this useless habit.
mrhowlshere
I managed to quit as well. I took the vaping way out and went down to 0 and eventually quit. I still vape on occasion for fun though.
mrhowlshere
All in all though, congrats :)
Kudoskid
I started again but I'm ashamed to tell my gf I fucked up. I want to quit again but it's hard when you're alone. I'm such a piece of shit..
Absolarix
You've done it once, right? Then you can do it again.
SkittleBomb
You can do it!
Kudoskid
Thank you..
KristineNoel
I am so with you on this.
KenWeinbrandt
Gah, 23,000. Not 22,000. My bad
peecs
What app, op? I am trying to quit and need motivation. Read: quit 5 times and need a nanny. Pls send hlp.
KenWeinbrandt
Smoke free is the app :) as for motivation, think about all the money you'll save! Oh, and not dying an early death is a good one too
peecs
Thanks! Quitting is the easiest thing I've ever done, I've done it a dozen times. But really, I want to quit. Thank you!
meddiva
Just downloaded the app. Thanks for the inspiration.
KenWeinbrandt
Glad to help! Good luck!
flippywizgig
An app like this would be neat for other bad habits, like sodas or other junk food.

Wow you guys need more expensive ciggies, not smoking 3packs a day here in Aust. would save you about $22k.
DustFloof
Work in a shop in Hawaii, average pack is 9 to 10 dollars. And you have to be 21 to purchase!
KenWeinbrandt
Yeah it's only , on average, about 6 bucks a pack. I hear it's insane in Australia
Roggerman12
Yeah it is just grabbed a carton of five $115 that's a weeks worth how people have the money to smoke in this country I don't know.
CodyJC
10$ a pack in Canada. Cheapest possible pack is 9.30 and it's aas
peecs
They would just roll their own. Cost goes down. Desire does not fade.
